Granblue Fantasy Versus

At Granblue Fes 2018 in December, Cygames offered new details about Granblue Fantasy relink and Granblue Fantasy Versus. We know that both games are coming to North America and Europe at some point, and in order to know whether western gamers will have to wait long for the game or not, Twinfinite talked with Director Tetsuya Fukuhara, who had good news to share.

Fukuhara-san confirmed that the plan is to release both games simultaneously worldwide.

We also heard that Cygames is handling localization internally, taking advantage of the experience accumulated with the original mobile Granblue Fantasy game.

Speaking of releases, Fukuhara-san also shared the reason why Granblue Fantasy Relink has been delayed for its initial 2018 release window and have a new one just yet.

“2018 was our initial goal. After the project kicked off, it continued to become more and more massive, as the IP itself was growing at the same time.

Also, it wasn’t as easy as we initially thought to implement the full details of the Granblue world into 3D models, especially for the backgrounds. We didn’t want to make compromises on the quality. It was possible to choose the fastest and easiest way, but we didn’t. That’s the reason why the game hasn’t been released yet.

At the moment it doesn’t have a release date because we already delayed it once, we never, ever want to do it again. We will release that information when we’re absolutely sure that we can hit that date without risking any more delays.”

You’ll be able to read the full interview soon on Twinfinite. It’ll include many more interesting details and plenty of information on both games.
